Nottinghamshire County Council 's economic chief has insisted the authority needs to replace some of its "dilapidated" buildings after the £5 million cost of one of them was criticised. Councillor Keith Girling, the council's cabinet member for economic development and asset management, says some of the Conservative-run authority's facilities are currently in an "embarrassing" state and that replacing or upgrading them is what the public needs.
"We've added that on for a start, and then obviously the demolition costs now. From my point of view, families deserve to have a facility that's fit for purpose and this is part of doing that." "We've recognised the buildings aren't right, we've recognised that they need something doing to them, that's what we're doing... It's a phenomenal annual bill running all of our buildings.
